hey everyone I have an empty 72x18x22 125 gallon that's sitting in storage. That's right...empty. So I'm looking to change that, but I can't decide on what kind of tank I'd like, let alone a stocking list. I'm considering everything from a West African biotope to an Mbuna setup to a mudskipper species tank and everything in between. Rather not go saltwater on this tank... so I'm taking all suggestions. I'm kind of leaning toward a rift lake setup, but I've never kept them before, so I'd like to stick to more placid species at first.
Thanks for your input!_________________If wishes were fishes...I'd be in the same boat.

P.S. I'm quite familiar with the cycling process and other tank maintenance and stability issues such as raising pH/KH etc. and as far as equipment I've got two eheim heaters and a Fluval FX5 waiting in the wings, so I'm not worried about filtration issues (at least with appropriate water changes)_________________If wishes were fishes...I'd be in the same boat.
